Listening Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Listening

1.
The older I grow the more I listen to people who don't talk much.
Glien, Germain G.

2.
My parents taught me how to listen to everybody before I made up my own mind. When you listen, you learn. You absorb like a sponge-and your life becomes so much better than when you are just trying to be listened to all the time.
Steven Spielberg

3.
Are you really listening... or are you just waiting for your turn to talk?
Montgomery, Robert

4.
When you are in it up to your ears, keep your mouth shut

5.
The less you talk, the more you're listened to.
Buren, Abigail Van

6.
A good listener is not only popular everywhere, but after a while he knows something.
Mizner, Wilson

7.
It is a rare person who wants to hear want he doesn't want to hear.
Cavett, Dick

8.
Nature gave us one tongue and two ears so we could hear twice as much as we speak.
Epictetus

9.
Be a good listener. Your ears will never get you in trouble.
Frank Tyger

10.
Every person I work with knows something better than me. My job is to listen long enough to find it and use it.
Nichols, Jack

11.
One who cares is one who listens.
Clarke, J. Richard

12.
Know how to listen, and you will profit even from those who talk badly.
Plutarch

13.
To be listened to is, generally speaking, a nearly unique experience for most people. It is enormously stimulating. It is small wonder that people who have been demanding all their lives to be heard so often fall speechless when confronted with one who gravely agrees to lend an ear. Man clamors for the freedom to express himself and for knowing that he counts. But once offered these conditions, he becomes frightened.
Murphy, Robert C.

14.
A good listener is usually thinking about something else.
Kin Hubbard

15.
Everybody lies, but it doesn't matter because nobody listens.
Nick Diamos

16.
When a woman is speaking to you, listen to what she says with her eyes.
Hugo, Victor

17.
There is only one rule to become a good talker, learn how to listen.

18.
A new lens to look through. Hear the pain in people's speaking. People who have an ear to hear can hear. You will no longer tolerate what you used to tolerate. A second point of reality. Declare a new future. There are no right answers. There is no is. Give people breakdowns. It's the loving thing to do. What's being revealed here? Dogs don't have things wrong. Wrong disempowers people. Upsets indicate a right that's been violated. Notice when you are angry that you are the only one around. The only constant thing is you. Business is made up. It's invented. We invent our world through language. If it really turns you on, you may want to inform your face. There is no right way. A chair is only a chair because we say it's a chair.
Pancoast, Mal

19.
Listening: A wise old owl sat in an oak. The longer he sat, the less he spoke. The less he spoke, the more he heard. Why can't we be like that wise old bird?

20.
Give every man your ear, but few thy voice. Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment. [Hamlet]
Shakespeare, William

21.
Let others confide in you. It may not help you, but it surely will help them.
Imhoff, Roger G.

22.
Skillful listening is the best remedy for loneliness, loquaciousness, and laryngitis.
Ward, William A.

23.
Make sure you have finished speaking before your audience has finished listening.
Dorothy Sarnoff

24.
To meet at all, one must open ones eyes to another; and there is no true conversation no matter how many words are spoken, unless the eye, unveiled and listening, opens itself to the other.
West, Jessamyn

25.
There are people who, instead of listening to what is being said to them, are already listening to what they are going to say themselves.
Albert Guinon

26.
No one every listened themselves out of a job.
Coolidge, Calvin

27.
Set up the listening. Prepare who you are talking to for what you want them to hear. Get people to listen as a possibility rather than a problem.
Pancoast, Mal

28.
One of the most valuable things we can do to heal one another is listen to each other's stories.
Falls, Rebecca

29.
Listen. Don't explain or justify.
Dyer, William G.

30.
When people talk, listen completely. Most people never listen.
Ernest Hemingway

31.
God gave us two ears and one mouth, so we can hear twice as much as we say.

32.
No man ever listened himself out of a job.
Calvin Coolidge

33.
The word is half his that speaks, and half his that hears it.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

34.
Listening well and answering well is one of the greatest perfections that can be obtained in conversation.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

35.
Learn to listen. Opportunity could be knocking at your door very softly.
Tyger, Frank

36.
It is the province of knowledge to speak and it is the privilege of wisdom to listen.
Oliver Wendell Holmes

37.
Nature has given us two ears, two eyes, and but one tongue-to the end that we should hear and see more than we speak.
Socrates

38.
As I get older, I've learned to listen to people rather than accuse them of things.
Po Bronson

39.
To listen closely and reply well is the highest perfection we are able to attain in the art of conversation.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld

40.
Listen to life, and you will hear the voice of life crying, Be!
Freeman, James Dillet

41.
You can judge a good listener by asking the talker at the end of the conversation what the listener's position is on the topic. If the talker doesn't know, then the listener has probably done a good job of listening.

42.
His thoughts were slow. His words were few and never formed to glisten. But he was a joy to all his friends, you should have heard him LISTEN!

43.
Only if we can restrain ourselves is good conversation possible. Good talk rises upon much discipline.
Erskine, John

44.
Never speak of yourself to others; make them talk about themselves instead; therein lies the whole art of pleasing. Everybody knows it, and everyone forgets it.
Goncourt, Edmond and Jules De

A good listener is a good talker with a sore throat.

When I am getting ready to reason with a man, I spend one-third of my time thinking about myself and what I am going to say and two-thirds about him and what he is going to say.
Lincoln, Abraham

Listen. Do not have an opinion while you listen because frankly, your opinion doesn't hold much water outside of Your Universe. Just listen. Listen until their brain has been twisted like a dripping towel and what they have to say is all over the floor.
Hugh Elliott

50.
No one is as deaf as the man who will not listen.
Proverb, Jewish
